At GMS Services Ltd, we understand that maintaining safe and compliant water systems in care homes isn’t just about meeting regulations—it’s about protecting lives. Vulnerable residents, including the elderly and those with underlying health conditions, are at a higher risk of waterborne illnesses like Legionnaires’ disease, Pseudomonas, and Nontuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM). That’s why we provide specialist water hygiene and plumbing services tailored to the unique needs of the care sector.

We offer a full suite of Legionella risk management services to keep your care home compliant with HSG274, ACoP L8, HTM 04-01, and CQC requirements. Our services include:

• Legionella Risk Assessments in line with BS8580-1
• Water sampling and laboratory analysis for Legionella, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and NTM
• Routine monitoring and temperature profiling
• Bespoke remote monitoring for all environments

Every solution is tailored to your facility’s risk profile and operational needs, with minimal disruption to your residents.
